Statement of Significance
The following wording is from the Allom and Lovell Building Citation, 1998 for the property. Please note that this is a "Building Citation", not a "Statement of Significance". For further information refer to the Building Citation held by the City of Yarra.
History:
John Johnston owned vacant land on this site by 1870. and the following year built this brick house. At least until 1892, he remained owner with tenants occupying the house.
Description:
The house at 8 Derby Street, Collingwood, is a small two -storey brick terrace-style house built to the street alignments on the corner of Little Oxford Street. The body of the house is one room deep at both levels, and has a transverse skillion roofed lean to at the rear. The walls are of brown brick with a bluestone plinth, and the front facade is rendered with ashlar markings. The asymmetrical facade has an entrance door and single window, which has louvered shutters. Windows are timber-framed double-hung sashes. There are no windows on the east elevation, or first floor of the north elevation. The hipped corrugated iron roof is concealed behind a simple rendered corniced parapet. There is a brown brick corbelled chimney on the east elevation, and another at the rear of the lean-to. The house has no verandah.
Significance:
The house at 8 Derby Street, Collingwood, is of local architectural significance. It is a remarkably unadorned and, for a two-storey dwelling, unusually proportioned, Victorian house. Its form is clearly visible from Little Oxford Street, to its immediate east. The house contrasts with the far more substantial houses at 1-7 Derby Street, opposite.
